The land that land plants colonized was hostile to life. Soil development was minimal.
Land plants grow in an environment that does not support them.They require several adaptations to be successful:
mechanical strength for support,exposed light catching surfaces,anchoring system,conducting system for water,system for obtaining mineral nutrients,a way to restrict water loss in desiccating air,a means of reproducing and dispersing on land
1. Adaptation to living on land and the first land plants
![Page 3: Lecture4 life cycle of plants](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/557d3cb0d8b42a447f8b4f1f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
An advantage of being small is that many of the requirements for living on land are minimized.
Close to the soil surface the environment can be almost aquatic – even if it does not rain continuously.
Then the principal adaptation required becomes the ability to withstand the dry periods between the wet.
Advantages of being small

Devonian plant
community
Devonian plant community found at Rhynie, in Scotland. A reed-like marsh, 370-380 million years ago.
Simple dichotomous branching
MAIN FEATURES

Lycopodium
Lycopodium, club mosses, share many features with Asteroxylon, but they do have roots.

Jungle-like forests of the Carboniferous were dominated by giant ancestors of club mosses, horsetails, ferns, conifers, and cycads.
Most of the plant fossils found in the coals and associated sedimentary rocks show no annual growth rings, suggesting rapid growth rates and lack of seasonal variation in the climate (tropical).
